irrelevant rantings and musings

Thursday, January 09, 2003

my left eyelid has been twitching for the whole day...think that must be a bad omen coz i had a terrible day at work. not trying to complain again but the job really sucks. after a few discussions with my colleagues, i discovered that some of them actually wanna resign from this co if the opportunity arises. one of them was offered a higher pay at another company and she's thinking of moving on. if i were her, i would hv taken up that offer.

the basic pay is rather low in this co and it's a known fact. moreover, the job nature is not easy to handle....stress and long working hours are a norm. my frens and colleagues hv noticed the bad outbreak i'm having on my face. stress stress......even my supervisor said that getting nightmares and wake up calls in the middle of the night due to shipment problems are very common. kena yelled at by shippers and being wrongly accused are some of the things we hv to take in our stride. i wonder long i can stand such things anymore. i really hope i dun break down one day.

it's true that i do hv nightmares of work...and it's quite often. sometimes i would wake up in the middle of the night thinking i've forgotten to do this, or has the rates been agreed, or did i instruct the operations to do that...etc. ain't a nice feeling. next morning, i would end up looking like a panda going to work as i've not gotten enough sleep the night before. this is esp so during nov and dec when the tonnage of freight is very high.

everyone tot that the freight would slow down in jan and feb...but NO! i'm still rushing like mad...except that i do get to go home early more often than last time. still, my dear dear mgmt has decided that my co shall provide 'good' service by getting some shippers' declaration letter (which other forwarders dun do), and ends up all the customer svc getting lotsa crap and shit from shippers. haiz....whatever.

just hope that the economy would be much better this yr....must bear with all the crap till august at least, then i can start looking for another job. this is getting too much for me to take...........
